something
    about me 


I am an Italian curator based in Italy and Malta.
Since 2017, I have been focusing on the intersection of art, historical, and landscape heritage through contemporary art exhibitions, public programs, and bespoke art therapy workshops for public and private institutions. 

I am the Artistic Director and Head Curator of the first edition of the Malta Biennale 2024, Insulaphilia, curated together with Emma Mattei and Elisa Carollo and promoted by Heritage Malta with the patronage of UNESCO.

I was part of the curatorial team of the first Italian National Pavilion – Che cosa sogna l’acqua quando dorme? – for the 14th Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, curated by Valentina Buzzi and promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in Seoul, with support from the Embassy of Italy in Korea, Quadriennale di Roma, and the European Media Art Platform, co-founded by the European Union. 

I am a curator for Una Boccata d’Arte, Emilia-Romagna, a contemporary art project spread throughout Italy, promoted by Fondazione Elpis in collaboration with Galleria Continua, with the participation of Threes Productions.

Through exhibitions, lectures, and workshops, I have collaborated together with various museum institutions and universities, including UNESCO -WHIPIC, Triennale (Milan); Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus), MOKA Museum (Republic of Korea), Biennale of Mulhouse (France), Quadriennale (Rome), MANN Archeological Museum (Napoli), Pilotta Monumental Complex (Parma), Orientale University (Napoli), Brera Fine Arts Academy (Milan), Swiss Institute (Milan), XNL (Piacenza), Virgilio Sieni’s Academy of Art and Gesture (Florence). I have collaborated with various International galleries such as APalazzo Gallery, Mandragoa, ArtNoble; Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Swivel Gallery, Massimo de Carlo, Galleria Poggiali; and national and international companies to support art projects: Corneliani Spa (founding the Corneliani Art Collection), Confcommercio Lombardia; Repower; A2A; Servizi Italia; AIDDA – Association of Women Business Executive, Illy, Bang&Olufsen and Particle. 

I am also the curator of the artistic didactic collective PSICO.LOBO, which fuses psychology and performance and I am an active member of the autonomous association Art Workers Italia, as well as a member of IKT - International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art.
